Tang Dynasty Never Night

It was the first time in Li Xian's two lifetimes that he clearly understood the meaning of the word "sloppy water". Yes, he also hoped that it would rain after the sacrifices and prayers, at least to ease the drought, but it did not mean that he hoped that during the process of his sacrifices and prayers, it would rain. It's raining!

With the big dress and the heavy Jinxian crown on the head, it was very tiring to perform the sacrificial ceremony, and then it rained... the clothes on his body and the hair on his head instantly became several percent heavier, Li Xian Pretending to be calm and continuing the sacrificial ceremony, there is a feeling of kneeling every minute and never getting up again. Who will help him qaq After the sacrificial ceremony is over, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Originally, the last step is to burn the sacrificial text Yes, but now that it's raining like this, there's no need to think about burning it, just put it on the sacrificial altar.

As a result, Li Xian put the sacrificial text on the sacrificial altar with his front feet, and a gust of wind blew past his back feet, and the already soaked silk cloth was blown away by the wind, and flew higher and higher, farther and farther, until no one could see it. arrive.

Li Xian: (﹏)~

Everyone: (⊙o⊙)!

A sacrificial ceremony happened one after another, Li Xian felt that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and now he just wanted to take a good hot bath and sleep until he woke up naturally without thinking about anything!

The rain is still falling, and it seems that this posture will not stop for a while. After the sacrificial ceremony is completed, there will be a beautiful exit, but the exit is not so serious. Li Xian originally thought that someone would bring an umbrella to him He was shielded from the rain. Although his body was soaked, it didn't feel good to be drenched by the rain.

As a result, when he went back, he found that the people below were still kneeling with their heads lowered, and no one was looking at him!Not to mention those who ran up to hold an umbrella for him, he could only move back bit by bit with extremely heavy steps.

Li Xian: I'm so tired, look at me, I can't walk anymore qaqAlthough Li Xian usually doesn't pay much attention to his image, but after staying in a certain atmosphere for a long time, he has learned a little bit of the ability to pretend, probably Even if you grit your teeth and swallow blood outside, you can't lose face!

No one gave him an umbrella, so Li Xian walked away with his head held high, but he overestimated his physique too much. As soon as he walked out of the sacrificial altar, Li Xian's legs went limp and he fell to the ground——md, he just It's no different from going down the mountain with a load!

Anyone who has run with a load knows that if you want to get up again after being tired, you really have to use your strength. Li Xian... he has no strength at all now. If he wants to get up, not only You only have to get up by yourself, and you have to get up gracefully, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for the royal family.

Li Xian tried hard for a while and found that he didn't have the strength to get up, so he just lay down and closed his eyes - his life was about to die, so let's not take his face.

So amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Li Xian was finally helped into the carriage, and then rushed to the post station.After Li Xian got into the carriage...the fake show was real and he fell asleep.

He really couldn't hold it anymore, his nerves have been tense for the past two days and he dared not relax at all. God knows that in his previous life, he performed in full view of the public twice, one as a chorus and the other as a flag-raiser.

And those things have been in the past for more than ten years, this time he is really trembling and dare not make the slightest mistake, he really didn't lie to Li Xian when he said that he didn't want to come.

After all the tossing and tossing was finally over without any mistakes, he just relaxed and just... fell asleep for a dark night.

When he woke up, two days had passed, and the accompanying officials and the local officials were almost scared to pee—Nimma, if King Zhou did anything good or bad here, they would all die.

After Li Xian woke up, although he was still the same as before, but I don't know if it was his illusion, the people around him were respectful and awed when they treated him, and they even spoke more than eight degrees softly.

When Li Xian just woke up, he was still a little confused, but after a day, he realized that everyone felt that he was blessed by heaven, so it rained after praying?

For this obvious feudal superstition, Li Xian... Li Xian can only pretend that he doesn't know. Should he explain to others that it was an accident?He said that others might not believe it, it was too coincidental that this happened by accident.

Li Xian rested in the local area for two days, and found that even though he was drenched that day, he didn't catch a cold or get sick. After silently praising his physique, Li Xian happily packed up and went back to Beijing.

To be honest, he couldn't handle the atmosphere here anymore. So many people thought it was his fault that it was raining. This made Li Xian, who considers himself thick-skinned, a little embarrassed. Hurry up and go back to Chang'an!Anyway, Chang'an is far away from the western foot of Yushan Mountain, so it shouldn't be raining yet, right?

After all, Li Xian once experienced the situation of raining on one side and sunny on the other side at a distance of 50 meters, but he was still a bit conflicted. He hoped that it would rain and he didn't want it, but these things were beyond his control.

When Li Xian left, not only the local officials saw him off, but also many ordinary people knelt to see him off along the way. Li Xian felt his eyes a little hot when he glanced at it. The weather of the year is always not good, either drought or floods. Originally, these common people were desperate for this year's harvest. Now that Li Xian sacrificed and it rained, in their hearts Li Xian was the one who saved them.

Li Xian was too embarrassed to poke his head out to show off how "amazing" he was, so he could only lie in the carriage and be in a daze.

But what he didn't know was that all kinds of rumors about him were flying all over the sky when he was in a daze.

Everyone is talking about the magic of the King of Zhou. No matter what dynasty it is in, the way of spreading rumors is probably the same. At the beginning, they are relatively close to the facts, with a little exaggeration, and they are not out of shape.

After the story is passed on from ten to ten, and later on, even the person concerned will probably wonder who it is about when they listen to the story again.

Li Xian is in such a state now. Originally, he thought it would be better to return to Chang'an, but he did not expect that after returning to Chang'an, he got a piece of news-on the day he prayed for mountains and rivers, not only Yushan Xilu It's raining, basically most of the country has rainfall!

Li Xian: Nima, I was trapped again by the old man!

Li Xian was forced to go back to the palace to report, and then found that Li Zhi and Empress Wu looked at him very...unspeakable.

Li Zhi struggled for a while and asked Li Xian to go back to rest first. The news spread that King Zhou had successfully returned as a sacrifice, and then Li Xian found their door... a little more people passing by, as long as he went out, he seemed to feel it. All kinds of eyes came from all directions.

As soon as Li Xian returned to the capital, Li Zhi's rewards came down on his back. Not to mention all the previous seals came back, the governor of Guozhou became the governor of Guozhou, and the left The title of General Xiaowei.

Of course, by the way, I also rewarded the officials of Zhou Palace. The only thing that was not harmonious was that the original Chang Shi resigned due to illness, and then a Chang Shi named Gan Baicheng was replaced. He was a man in his thirties. In the eyes of the beautiful Li Xian, it was considered acceptable.

Li Xian was a little unaccustomed to changing his history at first, but gradually he realized that Gan Baicheng is actually a little more capable than the previous one, especially in terms of overall planning.A few days ago, Li Xian was watching many affairs in the palace. Later, although Gan Bocheng didn't talk much, he knew a lot of things in his mind, and after he came, many rules became stricter, and the atmosphere of the palace was also austere.

That's enough, Li Xian handed over the matter to the new long history at ease, but Gan Baicheng reported to him within two days that the stone ball at the foot of the stone lion in front of their house, it... it was gone.

After hearing this, Li Xian was at a loss for a long time before he realized that someone had stolen the ball under the foot of the stone lion. At this moment, the four paws of the lion are so shiny that they can see the reflection of the person-how many hands have been touched!

Looking up again, well, not only the paws of the stone lion, but even the nose is already smooth. Looking at the face of the stone lion that looks a little funny because of the nose, Li Xian has almost read its mood : You stupid humans.

Gan Bocheng approached cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, look... this... do you want to change it?"

Li Xianxin waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "Change it. By the way, let someone strictly guard it." Don't lose the ball again, even the Zhou Palace can't afford to change the stone lion twice in three days, okay?

What surprised Li Xian was that the stone lion that had just been replaced by their family was placed in a merchant's house when he happened to pass by a gate. Li Xian secretly sent someone to inquire about it, and then found...then It was bought by others, and it cost a lot of money.

Although the businessman was reluctant, he put out the stone lion to show off, surrounded it with railings and sent guards to guard it.

After Li Xian heard this, he couldn't spit out a mouthful of Ling Xiao's blood, and couldn't swallow it, and he almost didn't suffocate him to death.Turning around, he ran back to the palace to find Chang Shi and asked what was going on.

Chang Shi said calmly: "Your Majesty, our family is... a bit short of money. Recently, as long as it is related to the King, it is very popular. However, the King is relatively low-key, and there are not many paintings and calligraphy. Going out, so the prices of many things are getting higher and higher.”

After hearing this, Li Xian rubbed his nose slightly guilty, just his handwriting... let's forget it, he is also very ordinary in painting, so he never thought of keeping calligraphy or anything.

"Then this stone lion..."

"I don't know how they got the news that the palace is going to replace this lion, and many people want to buy it. In the end, they will let them compete for the smaller one by themselves."

Damn, auction!talent!

Li Xian didn't care to complain about those people's stupid behavior, so he couldn't help asking, "How much did you sell for?"

"Two thousand guan." Gan Baicheng was very calm.

Li Xian's legs softened, md, this group of dead local tyrants, the guilt of selling a defective product to others instantly calmed down, Li Xian suddenly felt... even if he became a prince, he still seemed to hate the rich.Of course, what he didn't know was that he was unbalanced, and the stonemasons were even more unbalanced. They wanted to throw all the stone lions to the palace for "gilding", okay?The price of this Nima has doubled hundreds of times.

Li Xian stroked his chin and asked, "You said... If I sell something now, shouldn't it... be very popular?"

Li Xian originally wanted to talk about whether he would make a lot of money, but in order not to make himself look so vulgar, fortunately, Gan Baicheng understood Li Xian's meaning in an instant, and said directly: The king's things are all great. !

Yes, even if Li Xian's handwriting is like a dog crawling now, there will be people who want it - to be immortal.

Although no one dared to publicly say that Li Xian was bestowed with auspiciousness and the like, it did not prevent everyone from silently deciding on Li Xian's sex in their hearts.

In fact, Li Xian felt...he was tricked by the Taishi Bureau. These days, the Taishi Bureau also worked part-time in the Meteorological Bureau. As a result, the weather forecast was inaccurate. It was said that there was a severe drought across the country, and then...it rained across the country.

Li Xian didn't want to care about how much mystery the rain had added to him. Even in the eyes of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, Li Xian's weight seemed a little different.

He just wants to make money now!The porcelain kiln can be opened.

As for the porcelain kiln, although all the old people are employed, there is no problem of disloyalty - Li Xian is almost rumored to be a god who has descended to earth, who dares to make trouble with this one!

Li Xian didn't have too high aspirations at the beginning, but honestly asked them to make solid-color tiles. Of course, many colors are not available to ordinary people these days, so the colors are mainly red, light yellow and black.

The speed of the porcelain kiln is not slow. I have to say that actually making tiles is not much more difficult than firing porcelain. Even if there is no pattern, it is much simpler than firing porcelain.

Li Xian was very satisfied with the first batch of finished products, and then he gradually increased the difficulty of the porcelain kiln - adding some less obvious patterns, and the effect was not bad.

Next, Li Xian simply drew some patterns by himself and asked them to get them directly on the tiles. By the way, he also added a request - to put some gold wires in as well.

This makes him appear taller. Of course, this kind of behavior is quite prodigal. The cost of a tile immediately rises, but Li Xian never thought of going the low-end civilian route when making tiles. To be honest, the current living standard is even low. Xiaokang's house has only a few options for house decoration, and the market demand is not large.

Only local tyrants and high-ranking officials of aristocratic families would bother with these things. Li Xian made up his mind to have two styles from the very beginning, one was the local tyrant's style showing off his wealth, and the other was the simple and elegant aristocratic style.

The former one is aimed at those wealthy businessmen, and the latter one is aimed at various big and small families and officials.

Li Xian's calculations are good, but there are still some problems in the development of patterns. Li Xian has to admit that his own aesthetics... Ahem, it's not very elegant. After all, he has been a petty citizen for more than [-] years. He doesn't have any family background in his bones, so the design of the pattern... Li Xian directly paid the government bureaucrats to get it, and he...he made the patterns for the local tyrants.

After the first batch of lotus pattern tiles with gold threads came out, Li Xian immediately took a few pieces and went directly to Penglai Palace - to show his parents.

The picture of the lotus is composed of six tiles, with yellow as the base, the lotus is pink, the leaves are dark green, the edges of the petals of the lotus are painted with gold borders, and there are messy gold threads in the middle of the petals. There will be a reflective point at every angle under the light, which is bright but not dazzling.

Empress Wu obviously liked this tile very much. In fact, they were no strangers to tiles, but in terms of aesthetics, the ones in the palace seemed to be inferior to those brought by Li Xian.

Li Xian finally felt that the thing that gave him the most sense of accomplishment since he traveled through time, of course, the money he received made him feel more fulfilled.

Recently, everything becomes more attractive when it is named King Zhou. This is probably the celebrity effect, and tiles are indeed quite novel and beautiful. After all, tiles can not only be used to lay the ground, but also It can be mounted on the wall, and although the price is not low, it is not unbearable, and everyone spends money willingly.

To be honest, after seeing someone put tiles on the wall, Li Xian had an urge to toss the wallpaper, but the wallpaper is a bit difficult, because the wallpaper needs wall paint or something, and the tiles are much simpler. .

Seeing that the supply of ceramic tiles in Zhou Wang's house was a bit short of demand, Li Xian decisively decided to continue to buy porcelain kilns, and if one was not enough, he would buy two. There should be no shortage of money, and Li Zhi often gave pocket money to their brothers, but even the empress would not hate money, no, anyway, the thighs of these two big bosses should be hugged tightly!

By the way, he also distributed some shares to Li Lingyue and Li Lun. He didn't directly give them the porcelain kiln, but he has always received their dividends. To be honest, he still likes these two siblings, especially the cute little princess. Lolita is smart and caring. Although the evaluation of this princess in history is probably more extravagant, chaotic, and domineering, but now Li Xian has not found that little Lolita has this tendency. Be more polite and well-behaved.

As for Li Hong and Li Xian, he made it very clear that his parents were filial to his parents, and his younger siblings were given pocket money because they were underage. If the two brothers also want to participate, come and pay for the shares.

In fact, he was very grateful for Li Xian's selling the porcelain kiln to him at a low price. No matter what the other party's purpose was, at least he reached out when he needed it. Treating Li Xian like a king would be a bit conspicuous, after all, Li Xian has also left the palace to build a mansion.

Although Li Xian was envious of Li Xian for bringing the half-dead porcelain kiln back to life and earning a lot of money as soon as he changed hands, he was not jealous. He also had his own way to get money. , Li Xian waved his hand very simply and said: "Come on, you only have four porcelain kilns in your hand now, two of them are for Dad and Auntie, and the remaining two have to be shared with Balang and Siniang. How much do you have left? If you really want to thank me, please invite me to dinner, I heard that a restaurant opened two days ago is good, go and eat?"

For a meal or something, Li Xian was completely relieved now, so he agreed decisively.

I have to say that Li Xian really knows how to be a man, and his food is not ugly, but because he has quit, Li Hong has to get involved in his younger brother's business, and he feels a little unhappy. Of course, he doesn't want to care about those things. Money, but he thinks... Li Xian is obviously very close to Li Xian.

Originally, Li Hong didn't take Li Xian seriously, but now that Li Xian's reputation has reached a new height, even if Li Hong is the prince, he can't help but be shocked.If it weren't for someone under his command to persuade him not to make enemies with King Zhou easily, and not to make more enemies for himself, he really couldn't help but want to attack Li Xian.

Li Xian didn't know anything about Li Hong's thoughts, he spent every day counting money, painting and... missing Zheng Qi.

It has been nearly a month since Zheng Qi went out with the army, and the news came in scattered. As Zheng Qi said, the tribe of the tribe is not a very powerful tribe. Datang sent about [-] soldiers to defeat the tribe The fight is almost done, and now they are finishing up there, and beat the Ge Luolu tribe.

This is the overall military newspaper. Li Xian wanted to know more details and found that there was no news about Zheng Qi. After thinking about it, he could only think that because Zheng Qi was in logistics, there was no need to mention it too much.

However, the more this happened, the more Li Xian wanted to know how Zheng Qi was doing, whether he was doing well, and whether the Mo Dao in his hand was working well.It's a pity that he couldn't ask these answers. Li Xian had no choice but to find something to do for himself, so he directly found a holiday and invited Li Xian to dinner.

The restaurant Li Xian was talking about was not a high-end restaurant, on the contrary, it was full of fireworks, and there was a storyteller in it, but when Li Xian stepped into the restaurant, he heard the storyteller's angry voice: "Speaking of which His Royal Highness King Zhou stepped onto the altar in a fine attire and yelled, "The wind is coming!" The whole Yushan was darkened in an instant, and the mountains and forests roared..."

When Li Xian heard this, he turned his head and left decisively. Nima, I know it's the same thing. Hearing it in person is just as embarrassing as max.What's even more deceitful is that Li Xian is still laughing behind him like a crazy person.

In the end, Li Xian still invited Li Xian to have a meal at his own home. Li Xian was good at supporting anyone who came, and finally he robbed Li Xian of two altars of good wine.

After Li Xian sent him away, he was a little bored, so he turned around and ran to the study room to continue scribbling. Recently, because of various topics about him, he has not been removed from the headlines, so he has been staying at home, and the result is Click on the second talent - painting.

Of course, his painting skills... However, Yan Liben probably didn't even bother to despise him when he saw it, but he himself had a lot of fun, and when he was happy... he couldn't help but paint a picture of Zheng Qi's back.

The reason why it is a back view is mainly because Li Xian's painting style is... quite different from the painting style of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that he feels that he can't draw Zheng Qi's beauty, even if it is a back view, it is just himself It's just for fun.

After finishing the painting, Li Xian looked at the handsome young man under the willow tree on the rice paper and silently gave himself a thumbs up, and then wrote two sentences from Chu Ci on the painting: Mountains have trees, trees have branches , Your heart pleases you, you don't know.

After finishing writing, I felt a little embarrassed, and when I was hesitating whether to stay or not, Zhengbao walked in quickly from the outside and brought a news: Left Guard Commander Shi Zhengqi disappeared together with two thousand cavalry!

Li Xian took a breath for a moment, and the pen in his hand dropped, leaving a pool of ink stains on the scroll.
